District-Level NCES Analysis

CELINA ISD operates 6 public schools serving 3,897 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Texas. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,143 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Collin County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $36,747 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 70.8% local, 23.5% state, and 5.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $69,735 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 55/100, ranked #424 of 1044 in Texas against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (14 AP courses district-wide), a 574.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 14.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.6% White, 22.5% Asian, 17.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

Celina H S accounts for 31.9% of all CELINA ISD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means CELINA ISD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

CELINA ISD school enrollment varies 661× across entities

CELINA ISD school enrollment ranges from 2 students (lowest) to 1,322 students (highest), a spread of 1,320 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

CELINA ISD student-counselor ratio is 574:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

CELINA ISD chronic absenteeism rate is 14.0% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
